Is Your Lap Top Hurting Your Posture?

I am writing this posting from my lap top. I have a very large dictionary under my lap top so the screen is nearly eye-level. I do not have to bend forward to type or read my screen.

If you spend lots of time on your computer, elevate your keyboard so you do not have to hunch over as you work. Over time, this hunched-over position can actually hurt your posture.

Bad posture can lead to physical pain (neck, back, and shoulder among others) and actually hurt athletic performance. Almost all great athletes have very strong posture. Arranging your daily life in ways that improve your posture can make a real difference in your performance and your life!
